Hi,

Some people are talking about Webapps but that is not really the same thing like a GUI App.

On cross-platform you don't have to rely on Wx, you can also use Qt or Gtk+ if you don't want to use Tk or others.

Gtk or Qt are easy to learn, and have good Perl libs. You can do fast GUI prototyping using a application like glade or qt-designer, for the later.

If you have a apps where you want/will have a remote db that will do the serialization of data, you can also use some of these, but you can also think about using some Webapps framework that has good AJAX bindings (like Catalyst), because using AJAX you can get the feel that it is really a interactive apps without the need of reloading and sending forms in a button like way... you know. ;-)

Another approach would be to use XUL, is also cross-platform and you have access to all that Gecko can provide you...

I was thinking about that there should be a good Tutorial or a Book about writing GUIs with Perl, and TOC could be:

Perl GUI Programming
  • Introduction
  • Why GUI programming?
  • Local GUI Apps, Remote GUI Apps. Webapps
  • Perl and the GUI.
  • Developing GUIs with Perl
    • Tk
    • Gtk / Gtk+
    • Qt
    • WxWindows
    • ...
  • ...
  • References
    • GUI Design Patterns
    • Cross platform developing tricks
    • ...

If someone will/would do this and need people, I would be available to contribute...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
